I have been going to the Schiele for decades and one thing enjoyable about this place is that there is always something new at the Schiele! The kids love it and they even sit still for the planetarium shows! We are happy members of the Schiele Museums including the Natural History which are on the same property so it's like...

My review only describes the interior exhibits. There is a large outdoor attraction encompassing a nature trail and historical period dwellings. The weather was not suitable for a walk on the trail; fortunately that provides a reason to return.

We came in winter so we couldn't really experience the outdoor village, and we had a 1-year-old so we didn't do the planetarium, however there were still plenty of other great exhibits there!

The layout of the exhibits and the detail is really better than any museum we have seen and that include Raleigh, Boston, Atlanta, etc. They have cool structures outside as well....

This is a great place to take the family. We go about twice a year. Their exhibits change so it's always something new. They also have a small outside area with a mini-trail and some buildings representing the time when America was being settled.

I have watched this museum grow and grow to its present state of amazing! Displays, information, location, availability are all wonderful. This is a highly significant addition to the life of Gastonia and its future.
